XMS20.ARC.2 BINARY 127544 F7ACH
These fix a problem which was recently brought to Microsoft's
attention. The problem only existed on people with 80286 (not 80386)
systems which were using the extended memory blocks (EMBs) of HIMEM,
not the high memory area (HMA). The 286 extended memory move function
of HIMEM was not being initialized.
Unfortunately Microsoft decided to keep the same version numbers and
filenames. You can tell if you have the updated version by the
checking the file dates. Here are the directory listings of the new
versions just uploaded to Simtel20:
